I need to connect to a TS server in a LAN from the Internet.
I think only i need to open two ports in the firewall and redirect them to
this server,also i should to enable 128 encription for this connections.

Many thanks,

Eric

Hi,
Yes this is a big nasty hole.

At the very least you should setup a PPTP Virtual Private Netork. Any
Win 2000 up machine can terminate this connection. But even Microsoft
do not reccommend this these days as the encryption is not great. They
reccomend using L2TP encryption VPN.

Make your passwords very strong also. MS can these days handle a whole
sentence as a password.
